The most BASIC V CAST Music with Rhapsody phone hits Verizon Wireless on December 3. This Verizon Wireless branded CDM 8950 phone will be sure to awake the audiences interested in a basic phone that can do a lot.

This phone does; however, have no point when it is released on the market. It will not turn eyes, it won't sell a lot...it is just a phone. Us here on Mobile Roar are looking at phones, like the Omnia, which turn eyes. This won't do that. If you're looking for a phone to do that, go in the opposite direction.

At this point, my sources say that this device has no in store launch date set.

Phone features:

• VZ Navigator
• EV-DO
• 1.3 Megapixel camera

The current pricing is set at $79.99 before a $50 mail in rebate. Guess what y'all, this phone is also available to prepaid IN Pulse customers! They can pay $99.99 AFTER rebates for this device. This is considered an "excellent" device for any prepaid customer, since they cannot have devices like the Dare, Voyager, or Omnia.
